But like pearls and a little black dress, violent imagery and women's fashion have gone together forever.
We&#39;ve gathered a sampling of some disturbing ads and editorial shoots. Mind you, this post could have gone on for hundreds of images, but we had to stop somewhere.
Many of the photographers featured here have angrily lashed back at criticism, saying what they&#39;re doing is "art."
Ha, no that&#39;s wrong.
This is what they&#39;re doing: being abjectly lazy.
Fashion creative directors often scoff at ad agency people because they don&#39;t have the unfettered freedom fashion ad makers have.
And yet with so much "freedom," ad after ad, spread after spread, hinges on the same lame concept
It&#39;s just pathetic.nonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultnonadult15 Banned Fashion Adshttp://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/15-controversial-fashion-ads-that-were-banned

How much you wanna bet the complainant was a FLY53 employee?
A spokesperson for the brand defended the ad's visual as "cartoon-like."nonadultnonadultnonadultnonadultIn 2011, the UK's ASA banned the ad featuring Dakota Fanning after it received four complaints that it "sexualised children." The ASA said that the way the perfume bottle rested in Fanning&#39;s lap was "sexually provocative" and considered that the actress actually looked to be under the age of 16.nonadultnonadultIN 2011, the Australian ASA banned the ad because it "inappropriately depicted a young girl in a sexualised manner." The UPC code on her shoulder reads 'SLAVE."
Roger David explains the "concept" of the ad:
<blockquote>"The image of the woman (is) a comment on youth and the national debt that now rests on their shoulders and as an ironic patriotic comment on capitalist recruitment and identity. The relevant audience for this advertisement is young men (I) believe that young men would relate to this image, and would not see it as shocking or exploitative."</blockquote>
